We are confusing issues, the problem is not the number of top officials, its more the salary and allowances they steal from the public.
I am yet to understand why an MP needs to earn more than a teacher or a government doctor. We can reduce the recurrent expenditure on top gava officials by upto 50% and these greedy politicians will still be earning more than doctors etc.
We however won't do that, trust people like Musalia to respond to serious questions with impracticable answers like regretting the promulgation of the new constitution. His regret is off-course irrelevant and unhelpful. Can he suggest how he would like to solve the problem.
